What is a surround Dash Camera
A surround dash camera is a vehicle-mounted external image recording device that uses cameras installed at the front, rear, left, and right sides of the car to capture and record the vehicle's surroundings. It can fully record images and sounds while driving, providing immediate evidence in case of accidents to protect the driver's rights.
